Eight Killed as Terrorists Attack Cricketers in Lahore

Terrorist attacks in troubled Pakistan are nothing new, but today’s attack in Lahore, which killed six police and two civilian bystanders and injured several others seems to have captured the attention of not just the nation, but much of the world as well.

The 12 attackers, who the Lahore police chief said “appeared to be well-trained terrorists” attacked the Sri Lankan national cricket team, and while the team managed to escape the attack with only a handful of injured players the team is being recalled over security questions, another major black eye for Pakistan on the international scene.
